On July 3rd, fiction becomes fact. Funcom's MMORPG: The Secret World - a dark modern day take on our world, with a dash of creatively altered history - lands on store shelves in just two days, and enters the realm of MMOs housing some very unique feaures.

Your first steps into The Secret World will be unfamiliar ones. Funcom has done away with the need to choose a class, and has even gone so far as to exclude a level system. Instead, the developers of this completely unique MMO would have you place your first foot in an shadowy, intricate world that is very much like our own. It won't take long, however, for players to realize that this place is also teeming with shades and secrets that set it apart from any place they might call familiar. Demons, undead, and mysterious factions are just some of the surprises that await when players decide to get a better look.

Here, every myth, fairy tale, and legend you were told in the warmth and comfort of your bed are far from fiction. Thanks to some creative alterations to our world's history, this story-driven experience pits players against the actualization of our world's proinent myths, legends, and consipiracies. Each mission goes beyond the typical grind of the genre and serves a seen purpose in piecing together a rich storyline, wrought from the mind of Ragnar Tørnquist, creator of the award winning The Longest Journey.
